1 Peter 5:6-11 CSB
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you. Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world. The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while. To him be dominion forever. Amen.

Romans 8:26-30 ESV
[26] Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. [27] And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. [28] And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. [29] For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. [30] And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live.” John 11:25

If I Die before I Wake
Unbelievers speak eulogies for their dead because they have nothing else to say. They play country songs at the funeral because they have no hymns to the resurrection. Unbelievers comment that their departed loved one looks good in the casket because a dead body is all they have and all they see and all they know. That is not what Christ tells us! Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Jesus gives resurrection and life to us by giving Himself to us. Jesus has added His promise to the gift: “Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die” (John 11:25–26). What will your funeral look like? Will it emulate the funerals of the unbelieving world, or will it do better than that? Perhaps we should warn our families ahead of time, telling them: “My funeral shall not be about me! Focus all attention upon the Christ who loves me and gave His life up for me! In Him I have died, which means I did not die!”

If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. And when my body ends its rest, It shall arise, forever blest. Amen.

The Day of Pentecost
Father, in fiery tongues, You sent Your Spirit to speak, through sinful men, Your Word to the nations. Enlighten hearts today with that Gospel message of the Savior, who fulfilled all prophecy, bore all sin, died for us, and escaped the bounds of death to give us new life. In water and Your Word, continue to build Your church as a beacon of hope and salvation. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

[1] Let everyone submit to the governing authorities, since there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are instituted by God. [2] So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. [3] For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval. [4] For it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For it is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong. | Romans 13:1-4 CSB

Matthew 6:31-34 CSB
[31] So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat? ’ or ‘What will we drink? ’ or ‘What will we wear? ’ [32] For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. [33] But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. [34] Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
